I’ve received more feedback from the mentor review presentation last week with the main question raised being: “Why VR to train soft skills and help people build emotional intelligence?”. Subsequently, I’m now completing a research paper to answer this question. My initial research indicates the immersive capabilities of VR offer a range of benefits for users (from higher degrees of focus to an increase in empathetic ability) that are not realisable via other training methods (such as e-learning). Please let me know if you’d like a copy of the completed paper.

This week marks the halfway point of the Founder Institute program. My two main goals for the remaining seven weeks are to confirm the key underlying hypothesis of Unleashed VR’s business model and to have a demo product either in production or complete.

As always, please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
